QT imaging: 3D ultrasound alternative

Dr. Jenn Simmons joins the Biohacker Babes for a powerful and deeply personal conversation about her shift from conventional oncology to functional medicine after witnessing the impact of breast cancer in her own family. She pulls back the curtain on the limitations of traditional cancer care — especially the overreliance on mammograms — and explains why true prevention begins with metabolic health, lifestyle choices, informed patient advocacy, and other options for testing. Dr. Jenn challenges the profit-driven structure of the healthcare system and empowers listeners to question standard protocols, explore more predictive screening options like the Auria test, and reclaim responsibility for their wellbeing. This episode is a bold call to action for anyone ready to move beyond fear-based medicine and step into proactive, root-cause healing.

Dr. Jenn Simmons is a breast surgeon, integrative oncologist, best-selling author, Podcast Host, 3x Summit host and founder of PerfeQtion Imaging. She began her career as Philadelphia’s first fellowship-trained breast surgeon and spent 17 years at the forefront of breast oncology.

Her own health crisis led her to discover functional medicine and a new framework for patient care—one focused on creating health rather than managing disease. In 2019, she left conventional medicine to establish Real Health MD, where she helps women on their breast cancer journey truly heal.

Today, her mission is to transform the landscape of breast cancer detection and survivorship. Through innovations in functional imaging, hormone restoration, and integrative care, Dr. Simmons aims to revolutionize how we screen for breast cancer and to redefine longevity for all women, including those with a history of breast cancer.
